"So who goes first?" Lauren asks as the two walk out of the cafeteria.

"Well, you're the one who brought it up so it's only fair that I get to ask you first." Camila replies with a smirk.

"How's that even fair?" Lauren banters back.

"What? As if you can actually stop me from... tormenting you."

"For a girl so small, you are actually scaring me, Camz."

"Hmm so are you chickening out already? We haven't even started yet, babe." Camila says the last part with emphasis, teasing Lauren even more, to which the taller girl just rolls her eyes as a response when in reality, Lauren couldn't help but feel tiny invisible electric eels zapping away at her fingertips when Camila called her 'babe'.

"Ugh, fine. But don't expect me to go easy on you. This is a back-and-forth thing anyway."

"Yay! Okay, so are you ready?"

"Shoot." Lauren says in a relaxed tone as the two of them find a bench near the forest's clearing.

"Okay, so, tell me about yourself, Lauren. Have you ever... done it in public?"

"W-What?" Lauren stammers as the smaller girl crosses her legs and faces her.

"Have you ever had sex in public?" Camila asks with a straight face.

"Camila what the actual fuck?!" Lauren's eyebrows shoot up as her eyes widen, making Camila laugh hard enough for the smaller girl's nose to scrunch up.

"What? Can't handle what I've got up my sleeves for you, Lo?"

"Oh you little scheming..."

"Hey! No words will be said about my height now answer my question!"

"Well... not really. At least, not yet? I mean, the closest thing to a public hook up I've had is when I did it with someone while their relatives were just in the dining room. But that's... about it?"

"Hmm... we're in public now..." Camila teases and Lauren almost audibly gulps before forcing herself to not lose composure.

"I can't believe I'm gonna say this for the second time already but Camila, what the actual fuck?"

Camila ends up laughing again and Lauren couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of her. The smaller girl has her eyes closed, clutching her stomach because she couldn't stop laughing, and everything just feels warm and yellow and to Lauren, it might just be the closest thing that could resemble the feeling of coming home.

"Okay. Okay. Your turn to ask me." The smaller girl says, breaking Lauren's train of thoughts.

"Alright, hmm... let's see here..." Lauren hums as she tries to think of a question that could match what Camila just threw at her.
